Kip...sounds to me like you are doing everything right...one thing I failed to mention is mast rotation,,,in 10-12,I have the mast set in front of the shrouds,,,bigger wind further back,,,my mast is set on the third hole up on the chain plate....mast prebend is set to heavy air,,,check your tuning guide,,,,you should have gotten one when you got the boat....one other thing ,,,where are you when you are trapped out??...I put my feet of either side of the dagger boards....in 10-12 you might let the outhaul out about an inch,,,see if that helps,,,,Harper
